In the long term I expect Miami to outperform CPI because it is a destination location and coastal land is more constrained than inland (such as Midwest, central, etc).  

All this is why, I believe, it's a rare thing in the REI industry. 

I've been doing a moderate level of research around the housing industry and I am very excited and eager to jump in.

Learn from your family and on your own by going to different meet-ups and having conversations with agents, other investors and anyone else in the industry to hear about their experiences.Make 2025 a year of planning and how you will go about that plan. 

Although I don't have much experience in this field yet, I am passionate about real estate and hope to continuously learn and grow in this industry.

@Mike LambertAs the hospitality industry is revitalizing from COVID, hotels are back to the increased occupancy rates.

@Seth Williams I work in the group home industry.

Next, and again my current experience is in a different industry but one that's a highly dependent on Google reviews and ratings, I've found that there's always a break-even point where "paying someone off" doesn't provide enough of a return on the payoff. 

Look for sponsors that have been in the real estate industry thru several economic and market cycles.

If what you're doing is so wonderfully pure and I'm just too stupid to understand your mastery of the industry why do you have to constantly lie, mischaracterize and misrepresent to raise money?
